OHIO GOES FOR SHERMAN
THE CONVENTION INDORsEs HIM
UNANIMOUSLY.

With a Hurrah-Names of the Other
Noninees-The Platform Full of the
sosh Usual in the Screeds of the
Radicals.
TOLEDO, O., July 2S.-The Republican
State Convention was called to order at 10
o'clock this morning by Temporary Chair
man Ryan.
The Committee on Credentials and Rules
reported, and the report was adopted.
Ex-Gov. Charles Foster, Chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions, read the plat
form. which was as follows:
rheRepublican party in convention assem-
bIed submits to the people OF Ohio the following
declaration of its principles:
We are in favor of a protective tariff to secure
TO American citizens the privilege of supplying
every article which can be produced as well in
tbe United States as in other countries and sufti-
GENTLY to supply American wants. Such tariff
makes a demand for and gives employment to
the labor of American citizens and thereby aids
in securing just compensation for labor We
denOunce the Ohio Democratic platform Of
tariff for revenue only, and which demands in
discriminate reduction in all duties on imported
articles the effect of which would be to eDcour
age irnportations, thus giving American pat
r1nage TO foreign producers and foreign labor
Vather than to our own.
DANGER IN IMMIGRATION
While we adhere to the public policy under
which our country has received from Europe,
preat bodies of honest, industrious citizens who
have added to the wealth, progress and power
Of our country, and while we welcome to
our shores the well-diSpoSed and industrious i'm
migrant who contributes by his energy and in
ellgence Of the cause OF free government, we
view with alarm the UNRESTRICTED immigration
from foreign lands as dangerous to the peace
and good order of the country and the integrity
and character of its citizenship. We urge Con
gress to pass suitable laws aud establish such
regulations as shall protect us from the inrOad
Of Anarchist, Communist, POyglmiSt, fugitive
from Justice, insane, dependent paupers, vicious
and criminal classes, contract labor in every
form, under any name or gliSc, and all others
who seek our shores, not to become part Of our
civilization and citizenship. who acknowledge
10 allegiance to our laws, no sympathy with our
aims and institutions, bat who come among us
70 make war upon society, to diminish the dig
nifty and rewards of American workingmen and
degrade our labor to their level. Against all
these our gates should be closed
ARAP AT THE SOUTH.
But while favoring every honorable and prac-
ticabe measure to protect American labor
against the evil efforts of foreign immigration
anu cumpcli ilion we recognize also the dangers
which menace il at home, and condemn as nos
tile to its cause and the subyersiOn of its digni
ty and power, persistent ursupatton in many OF
the states Of its political camps and privileges
The condition Of the men who labor in the
North cannot be maintained or improved so
long as the men who labor in the South arc
wrOugfully deprived Of the rights and powers of
American citizenship. Their labor meets in
close and Immediate competition, and
neither can be degraded without striking
at the prosperity and Independence of the other.
Recognizing these plain truths demand a
free ballot and fair count in all sections of the
cogntry. We demand it, and will ever demand
1t, as an entire source OF justice to the real pro
duceIs OF prosperity and wealth and the sole Sc
4 curty OF the republic and its free institutions
We deprecate national strife and divisions. We
have placed the war with its hates and revenges
behind u.s. but the settlements of the war must
stand rrcvoCable, respected, honored and OBJ
served In every part Of the republic More we
have never demanded, less we will not have
Congress should exercise it's constitutional
authority and take control and supervision of
IAe elections Of Representatives to Congress
TIE TARIFF ON WOOL

lacSlircS thereof as Will secure an American
